Rotting Logs from Timber Exploitation in 1937 Wisconsin

In May 1937, rotting logs and stumps remain from the exploitation of virgin white pine timber along K Highway in Forest County, Wisconsin. This logging method involved harvesting only the upper sections of trees, leading to substantial waste. Such practices significantly impacted the environment and altered forest landscapes in the early 20th century. The image is part of the FSA/OWI Collection, documenting historical agricultural and forestry practices in the U.S.
